Investigators claimed that three politicians and religious leaders in Delhi were on their target.
In October, Delhi Police had claimed to have foiled a terror strike, possibly in Delhi, ahead of Diwali after seizing over 5 kg explosives from a car outside Ambala Cant Railway station. Investigators had then pointed to the possibility of LeT and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) joining hands to plot the attack. A team of Delhi Police and their Haryana counterparts found the explosives in a car parked outside the railway station, about 200 km from Delhi, on October 12 following probe into inputs provided by intelligence agencies that a consignment of explosives is headed to a north Indian metro. |
